What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skincare treatment that uses a device with ultra-fine needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of your skin. These controlled micro-injuries kickstart your body’s natural healing response, which boosts collagen and elastin production—key components of firm, smooth, youthful skin.
Microneedling With PRP vs. Without PRP: What’s the Difference?
Both treatments involve the microneedling device, but microneedling with PRP takes it one step further.
-
Microneedling (Standard): Stimulates collagen to reduce fine lines, acne scars, and dullness.
-
Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Your own platelet-rich plasma—drawn and spun from a small sample of your blood—is applied during the microneedling treatment to enhance healing, reduce inflammation, and supercharge collagen production.
💡 Is microneedling more effective with PRP?
Studies have shown that microneedling with PRP improves skin texture and elasticity more effectively than microneedling alone. Patients often experience faster healing, brighter tone, and more noticeable long-term results.
Benefits of Microneedling
✅ Improves skin tone and texture
✅ Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
✅ Fades acne scars and hyperpigmentation
✅ Minimizes pore size
✅ Enhances collagen and elastin production
✅ With PRP: faster healing and greater rejuvenation
What’s the Downtime?
Microneedling has minimal downtime. You can expect:
-
Redness and sensitivity (like a mild sunburn) for 24–72 hours
-
Mild flaking or dryness for a few days
-
PRP enhancement often reduces redness and speeds up healing time
Most people return to work and normal activities within 1–2 days.
Frequently Asked Questions

For best results, we recommend 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months can help sustain your glow.
When will I see results?
You may notice initial improvements within the first week, with continued results developing over 4–8 weeks as collagen production increases.
Can I wear makeup after treatment?
Wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to give your skin time to recover.

Yes—microneedling is safe for most skin tones and types. We always begin with a personalized consultation to ensure it’s the right choice for you.
